Awesome service
Awesome service! We had a gait fitting at Runners need and I left half way through due to bad service. I booked a fitting at Runactive and what a difference. Everything was so professional and made us feel at ease and welcome! Highly recommend if you are new to running and need the boost!

The Perfect Experience
My wife and I initially visited RunActive Upminster for a gait analysis, after becoming interested in running over recent months.
We were helped by Tom, who helped us understand our individual running styles and advised which trainers would support us best.
We then met with David, who was able to very helpfully order our running trainers into store - the trainers arrived quickly and we were able to start running the very next day!

Excellent service!
I'm very happy with my purchase. RunActive stocked what I was looking for and at a competitive price. Ordering was easy and the item was dispatched super fast, arriving the next day.
RunActive will be my first place to check for my next running gear purchase!

The only webshop that had running shoes I was looking for
In my experience, it’s almost impossible to find Saucony wide width running shoes in Europe that come in any other color combination than black and white.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I found Saucony Ride 17 model in my favourite gray-orange color combination in this web store.
